Inpatient detoxification is recommended when someone is withdrawing from substance use because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Buffalo clients are closely checked for symptoms of drug or alcohol withdrawal which could cause health complications or even death in more serious instances. Someone suffering with alcoholism for example may need to be observed closely and possibly administered certain prescription drugs which will prevent seizures and delirium tremens. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another type of drug that may bring about very similar symptoms, and nurses and doctors in an inpatient detoxification facility will keep them safe.
There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual exhibits when arriving to the detoxification facility. Someone who is otherwise physically and mentally healthy may be in detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much medical intervention, while another patient may need to have intensive care and medical intervention for 7 to 10 days or more. Medical safety is of the greatest concern, and also a transition to a rehabilitation facility for patients who need to go to an actual drug and alcohol recovery program once detoxification is complete. Many detoxification facilities work with drug treatment programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in an overall treatment plan for people in recovery.
